Matt Judon, signed to the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad on September 28, 2026, is on the club's active game-day roster for its Week 4 game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, October 4, 2026. Either route counts: a standard elevation from the practice squad or a signing to the 53-man roster. The take is WRONG if he is not on that game-day roster, including if he is elevated or signed but declared inactive.

San Francisco (3-0) hosts Denver (2-1) at 1:25 p.m. Pacific on CBS. Brock Purdy has not been sacked this season, and the Broncos led the league with 68 sacks in 2025. Nick Bosa, James Thompson Jr. and Mykel Williams are out. Mike Evans, Dre Greenlaw, Keion White and Jaden Dugger are questionable. Matthew Judon and Malik Turner were elevated Saturday and Sebastian Valdez was promoted to the 53. Ten men to watch.

The 49ers promoted defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez from the practice squad to the active roster and waived Viliami Fehoko Jr. on Saturday. Matthew Judon and Malik Turner were elevated for Sunday's game against Denver. With Nick Bosa and James Thompson Jr. ruled out, nine defensive linemen are available, Judon included.

San Francisco (2-0) hosts Arizona (1-1) at 1:05 p.m. Pacific on FOX. The 49ers play without Nick Bosa, Romello Height, James Thompson Jr. and C.J. West, four of the nine defensive linemen who played against Miami, and Kyle Shanahan says six of the ten linemen who made the team have been lost in two weeks. Viliami Fehoko Jr. and Sebastian Valdez are in line for their NFL debuts. Mike Evans is questionable and Jordan Watkins is set for his season debut. Arizona lost 31-7 to Seattle last week and has put cornerback Will Johnson on injured reserve. Ten men to watch.

The 49ers kept Nick Bosa on the 53-man roster on Saturday and placed receiver Demarcus Robinson on injured reserve. Defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko Jr. was promoted from the practice squad into Robinson's spot, and defensive linemen Kevin Givens and Sebastian Valdez were elevated for Sunday's game against Arizona. Matt Judon was among four free agents who worked out for the club. Brandin Cooks was not elevated, and Jordan Watkins is expected to make his season debut.
